Can always count on HN to mindlessly equivocate.

goldfish3on They Thought They Were Free (1955)

Thank you, enlightened hacker. I will only respond to far-right gibberish with voluminous essays from now on.

I don't think that would make it any more likely to convince them, and I do not owe anyone my time for their indulgence. The best I can hope for is that they take a look in the mirror at some point, so I'll stick to that.

goldfish3on They Thought They Were Free (1955)

You are delusional. Please seek help.

goldfish3on A university president makes a case against cowardice

If there's no due process for everyone, that distinction literally does not matter in the slightest!

Dozens of citizens could have been sent into slave labor for all we know, and no judge has been able to provide the constitutionally mandated oversight. It has been upheld many times and for hundreds of years that the Due Process clause applies to non-citizens for this reason.

goldfish3on xAI has acquired X, xAI now valued at $80B

That does not make it any more or less self-dealing. Just means its investors love getting scammed.

goldfish3on Leaking the email of any YouTube user for $10k

goldfish3on Sam Bankman-Fried is a feature, not a bug

Yeah, the way I read it Lewis comes down on EA fairly hard. Rather his conclusion boils down to seeing EA and SBF's actions as misguided/naive, not intentionally fraudulent (which I disagree with).

Lol. The people you find on Hacker News sometimes...

goldfish3on Airlines make more money from mileage programs than from flying planes

goldfish3on Big Tech Resumed Hiring Foreign Workers Just Weeks After Layoffs

> Pichai’s firm filed applications for low-paid foreign workers

Google salary bands are the same whatever visa you're (not) on, and they're certainly not low-paid. This "article" is ridiculous xenophobic garbage.

goldfish3on Inflation is at a 40 year high. What can history teach us?

>But the thing most miss about the I bonds is you receive no interest until maturity/cashing it in. So no compound interest.
